It is made of carbon steel for tensile strength and hardness. The weld end creates tighter seals than threads and is grooved to allow removal of pipe sections for replacement, cleaning, and service. This fitting is suitable for use in air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam applications. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories.
